I mean, there’s still concerns there. All three goals they scored were mistakes, the lack of closing down on Yarmolenko’s goal was shocking, and overall they just switched off for about 10 minutes and let Ukraine get back into the game.

I think every tournament this forum is surprised that McCoist is excellent - his cheeky chappie persona disguises good football insight, and most importantly he seems to enjoy watching the game.
What a game though - I think Ukraine got up to double figures in backheels, and did well to say they seemed to be fielding two 12 year olds in central defence.
Both these teams will qualify comfortably, and both will get a pasting against the first decent/vaguely organised opposition they meet, but what great entertainment.
Hup Holland Hup!
Slava Ukraini!
Героям слава!

For the first time at a Euros or World Cup, I'm older than the oldest player.

All my Dutch football friends this morning are like “Who the helll is Patrick van Aanholt? And why is he playing for Our Oranje?”
Both excellent questions, but at some stage soon someone is going to have to break it to them that van Aanholt is on Ajax’s wanted list.

Hold on, I've just realised that Donny van de Beek is not in the squad. Oh ok, injured. If he had put the De Ligt - Blind - De Jong - Van de Beek axis of Ajax back together, I could almost bring myself not to cheer against Nederland.
Anyway, I still haven't forgiven him and his brother for stabbing Morten Olsen in the back in 1998.
His handling of the Jesper Cilessen Covid situation was also bizarre. And now he picks Stekelenburg, who has averaged 8 matches a season in the past 8 years. Tim Krul must be wondering what he has to do.
